有幾個英文字想不通有什麼分別?

2008-06-11 7:00 am
inside and in
into and to
還有一個問題想問問...就係什麼是phrase,什麼是clause。
我看過有本書的解釋...但係還是有點不明白。
佢地解釋如下:
Phrase:A group of words which makes sense,but not complete sense.
我不明白的就是,怎樣才叫做not complete sense?

Clause:A group of words which forms part of a sentence,and contains a Subject and a Predicate.
這句我就完全不明是如何。

The difference between "Inside" and "in"
INSIDE

IN

The two brothers study in the same class.
兩兄弟在同一個班裡上課。
The telephone is in the little study on the ground floor.
電話在一樓的小書房內。
____________________________________________
The difference between "into" and "to"

INTO
1. (表示動作的方向)到...裡
The man walked into the house in the dark.
那人摸黑走進了屋內。
2. (表示時間的推移)進入到
He worked late into the night.
他工作到深夜。

TO

phrase 是詞組. phrase 有很多種, 例如:
1) verb phrase 動詞詞組 -

"I am reading a very interesting book" 中的 "am reading".



2) noun phrase 名詞詞組 -

"Students in this school are diligent" 中的 "students" , "this school" 及 "students in this school".



3) adjective phrase 形容詞詞組 -

"She is very pretty" 中的 "very pretty".



3) preposition phrase

"I saw her in the morning" 中的 "in the morning".



Clause 是子句. Sentence 是句子.

兩者都必須包含主語及動語, 但是一個 clause不一定是一句完整sentence, 但sentence當中最少包含一個clause.

好像很複雜, 看以下例句:

a) You will get fat.

- 這是一句完整的sentence, 亦是一個clause. 裏面包含主語 "you", 動詞 "will get".



b) You will get fat if you eat too much.

- 這也是一句完整的sentence,

但當中包含了兩個clauses, 分別是 "You will get fat" 及 "if you eat too much".

"if" 是連接詞connective, 把兩個clauses 連在一起.


一個sentence當中的clauses也有分主從, 其中能自己獨立存在的叫作 main clause, 亦即是句中的"You will get fat", 而另一clause, "if you eat too much" 本身不能作為完整的獨立sentence, 不是main clause, 稱subordinate clause. 一句sentence 當中可以有無數的subordinate clauses, 但只能得一個main clause.

你應該看錯了 是 not complete sentence 不完整句子
complete sentence 最少要有subject + verb 最簡單的例子 We breathe (我們呼吸)
